In this paper we examine this inequality and entanglement measures in the construction of the coherent states for two-qubit pure and mixed states, we find a link to some entanglement measures through some new parameters （amplitudes of coherent states）. Conditions for maximal entanglement and separability are then established for both pure and mixed states. Finally, we analyze and compare the violation of Bell inequality for a class of mixed states with the degree of entanglement by applying the formalism of Horodecki et al.展开更多

Based on classical statistics of the particle-number correlation, we prove in this paper an extended BI, which is valid for two-spin entangled states with both parallel and antiparallel polarizations. The BI and its violation can be formulated in a unified formalism based on the spin coherent-state quantum probability statistics with the statedensity operator, which is separated to the local and non-local parts. The local part gives rise to the BI, while the violation is a direct result of the non-local quantum interference between two components of entangled state. The Bell measuring outcome correlation denoted by PB is always less than or at most equal to one for the local realistic model（PB^lc≤ 1）regardless of the specific superposition coefficients of entangled state. Including the non-local quantum interference the maximum violation of BI is found as PB^max =2, which, however depends on state parameters and three measuring directions as well. Our result is suitable for entangled photon pairs.展开更多

One of the examples is the existence of quantum non-locality is essentially violated by the local Bell’s inequality. Therefore, the violation of Bell’s inequality(BI) has been regarded as one of the robust evidences of quantum mechanics. Until now, BI has been tested by many experiments, but the maximal violation(i.e., Cirel’son limit) has never been achieved. By improving the design of entangled sources and optimizing the measurement settings, in this work we report the stronger violations of the Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt(CHSH)-type Bell’s inequality. The biggest value of Bell’s function in our experiment reaches √to a significant one: S = 2.772 ± 0.063, approaching to the so-called Cirel’son limit in which the Bell function value is S = 22.Further improvement is possible by optimizing the entangled-photon sources.展开更多
